The Freeway Phantom (Washington, D.C., 1971–1972)

Between April 1971 and September 1972, at least six African American girls (ages 10 to 18) were abducted and murdered in the District of Columbia.
The unknown killer—nicknamed the “Freeway Phantom”—left at least one taunting note and was linked to the victims via forensic evidence. Despite multiple task forces, suspects, and revived leads, the case remains unsolved.
